Recipe type: Salad, Side Dish, Vegetable Dish

Cuisine: American & Chinese

Serves: 12

Ingredients

• 1 Cabbage
• 6 Green Onions
• 1 packet of Saimin (top ramen) w/ seasoning packet - I use the vegetarian flavor
• 1 8-oz bag of Sliced Almonds
• 2 Tbsp of Sesame Seeds
• Dressing:
• ¼ cup Olive Oil
• ¼ cup Rice Wine Vinegar
• 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
• ¼ tsp Sesame Oil
• ⅓ cup Sugar

Instructions

1. Wash and chop the cabbage and green onions.
2. Spray a pan with a cooking spray and cook the saimin (top ramen) noodles + seasoning packet, sliced almonds, and sesame seeds.
3. Cook until crispy and a little browned, but not burnt.
4. Whisk the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl.
5. Toss all of the ingredients together in a large bowl and serve immediately so the saimin, almonds and sesame seeds don't get soggy.
6. ***If you are planning on taking this to a party, put the chopped cabbage + green onions in a giant Ziploc bag. After the crunchy mix of Saimin, almonds, and sesame seeds cool, put those is another Ziploc bag. Keep the dressing in a separate container. At the party, toss all 3 bags/containers together and serve!
7. ***I usually prep this ahead and bring it to my events separated so nothing gets soggy.
